welcome home
Who: Venti, Yuri, Saya, Lumine, and Kantera
What: A moment of respite
When: March 4th
Where: A house at the far edge of Blossomcrown
Warnings: Probably mentions of previous game trauma/violence
[ Venti has always been the type who wanders to the beat of his own drum, dipping in and out of people's lives as easily as the blowing wind. But Tokyo-F . . . changed things, somewhat.
Though his initial instinct had been to sleep under a tree and call it "home," an invitation to live with old friends put a halt to those plans. For starters, it would be protection from the unpredictable weather in the segments. For another, maybe he did get used to having a bed and a room to call "home," in no small part because of the teammates and friends who inhabited it with him. Now that solitary tree feels . . . lonely, in a way it didn't before.
And so here he is, standing at the threshold of a house full of people he loves and trusts, who asked him to stay . . . it makes him feel his age, but not in a bad way, for once. Nor does he feel that nagging urge to disappear into the wind.
Should he catch anyone watching him, the pensive expression dissolves into a smile. ]
Hehe, is this the part where we fight over bedrooms?

[ He might have just been teasing her. But-- ]
I think I'm the only person in the house you haven't actually been physical with like that. Am I right?

[ Sheepish ]
That's not exactly correct -- I've never slept with Doctor!
no subject
Have they properly discussed this?
This is why Venti doesn't usually get involved in this kind of thing, he's so bad at it. ]
Does it bother you?

I knew from the start if I wanted to date you I was never going to be your 'one and only.' Even if you weren't sleeping with Saya or Yuri, you always made gaga eyes at Zhongli.
[ She's not always the quickest on the uptake, but only Paimon could ever be that obtuse. ]
no subject
[ Here, she falters. There's really no easy way to ask this. But she probably should, so she knows what he wants out of their relationship. ]
.... Am I not sexually attractive to you?
no subject
No, that is definitely not a concern.
no subject
Okay, good.
[ She's relieved (and visibly relaxes) but
ultimately very embarrassed. She probably shouldn't have worried about it--but romance and sex aren't always the same. ]
no subject
Oh, he's been so, so bad at this. ]
How should I put this . . .
I didn't want to rush things? Because, surprisingly for me, I'm actually taking this very seriously.
[ And, well . . . she didn't remember everything. That certainly played a role too. ]
no subject
I see. So you were being a gentleman.
[ She reaches out to fiddle with one of his braids. ]
I didn't realize you were that serious.
no subject
You're very important to me.
[ That's really all there is to it. ]
no subject
You're very important to me, too.
no subject
Is it something you're eager to change? The physical part, I mean.
no subject
Oh! Uhm. I mean, I'd like--that is, if you want--I didn't mean to rush anything.
[ How fast do the humans of Teyvat and archons usually progress their serious relationships? She's never asked before now, but it seems like maybe she should have... ]
no subject
Hehehe . . . cute! You're all red!
no subject
Menace.

As I said, it's your choice. [ Back to the bedrooms issue. ] But you're certainly welcome in any bed of mine.

There's nothing else for it; he simply must squeeze Lumine into a hug. ]
